possibilities were suggested such as drapes student art along the walls tapestries hanging from the highâ€”beamed ceilings and even the idea of moving the piano up from alton lounge for both individual and concert use dobens said that at skidmore the student center features a type of roger's market where students can buy items such as milk beer and cold cuts right on campus he emphasized that incorporation of such a scheme into the coop might be especially attractive to freshmen on the hill who may put off buying someting because they don't feel like walking into town hipp feels that
